Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Pennyrile of Old Kentucky and Men, Things and Events I wonder in what Isle of Bliss Apollo breathes ambrosial air; In what green valley Artemis For young Endymion spreads the snare; Where Venus lingers debonair; The wind has blown them all away, And Pan lies piping in his lair - Where are the gods of yesterday? The tavern was the chief building of Chicken Bristle, situated at the northern extremity of the hamlet just above the intersection of the Greensburg road. It stood for good cheer, home-like comfort, and warm welcome. Constructed of wood it was part log and part frame, cool in summer and warm in winter. There was an ample front yard, at once grove, lawn, and flower garden - here a majestic oak, there a spreading elm, and here and there beech, sugar maple, and locust, carefully and precisely pruned. Scattered hither and thither beds of flowers - roses, pinks, violets, dasies, pansies, sweet williams, and tulips - bordered the sinuous graver walks. There were ferns in shady nooks; creeping up walls and over arbors was honeysuckle - these for the landlord´s daughter. There was an enormous bed of mint on the spring branch, and a bed of tansy in the vegetable garden - these for the landlord. The green sward was carefully tended, close-clipped in season; plentifully top-dressed in unseason. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
